No Facebook for Staten Island

Taken from Gawker, Media Gossip and Pop Culture

Staten
Island, home to that one thrift store we went to once, is sometimes
called "the fifth borough." But not on popular social networking site
"Facebook.com", which, according to the Richmond County Young
Republicans Club, doesn't recognize the hellish fake-tanned monster
island as a town or city.

As first reported in the Staten Island
Advance (they have their own little newsletter! Cute!), if you're
looking to create an event in Staten Island, Facebook will only let you
pick New York, NY or Staten Island Junction, NJ, which is apparently a
different place. Why anyone would want to create an event in Staten
Island was not reported.

The perpetually outraged young
Republicans dutifully sent a letter of complaint to Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg, and though he didn't respond to calls for comment, Facebook
officials told the New York Post that they're working day and night to
fix the issue and allow people to begin inviting everyone in their
networks to meet up at some New Brighton parking lot to get wasted
before piling into an Escalade and driving into the city to get more
wasted.
